Split css module class map and stylesheet in the client build

[rturnq]

Fixes #310.

A css module shared by two or more pages shipped an empty JS chunk, injected as a script into every page. The old no-treeshake marking kept the module's class name map — only read while rendering on the server — in the client graph, and vite never treats a chunk containing a *.module.* id as removable pure css.

In the client build a css module import now resolves to a small facade virtual that splits the file's two products: the class name map is re-exported from vite's own ?transform-only view (tree shaken whenever the map goes unused) and the compiled css loads under a plain-css id vite bundles, links, and removes like any stylesheet. The blanket no-treeshake transform is deleted. A new fixture covers a css module shared by two pages with no client code; the test harness disables the modulepreload polyfill so those pages ship no JS at all.

Walkthrough

The Vite plugin resolves CSS module imports through tree-shakeable virtual facades. The facades preserve class-map exports and load compiled CSS separately. The plugin removes stylesheet-only chunks during renderChunk. Two SSR fixtures verify shared CSS module and carrier-chunk output. The SSR build disables the module-preload polyfill. Patch changesets document the behavior.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8607e

The change can cause CSS module transformations to run twice for some PostCSS configurations, omit supported .module.sss styles from the client build, and leave a development fixture unable to complete unmatched requests. These bounded correctness and readiness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Support .module.sss CSS modules.

Vite 8.0.10 supports .module.sss, but both cssModuleReg and styleImportReg exclude it. Linked builds can therefore skip the CSS facade and treat the stylesheet as side-effect-free. Add sss to both matchers and add a production fixture that checks CSS output without a client script.

1009-1029: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not process CSS module output twice.

this.load({ id: inlineId }) runs Vite's transform hooks, where vite:css applies compileCSS. This branch then returns the compiled CSS as the source for .marko-css-module.css, which Vite processes again as CSS. A non-idempotent css.postcss plugin can therefore transform each CSS module twice. Reuse one compiled result and add a regression fixture that asserts one marker rule.
